Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Tomball
Air duct cleaning for a typical Tomball home runs $350-$650 for a full system, and our crews schedule most jobs within a week of your call. If you’re in a 1990s or 2000s-era subdivision near Spring Creek, Cypress Creek, or the master-planned communities off FM 2920, there’s a fair chance your builder-grade flex duct has never been cleaned. That’s where we come in.
We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been serving Tomball families since 2005 as part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies. Our scheduling office is in Houston, but our crews live and work in the Tomball area. We know the difference between a 1998 slab-foundation tract home in Lakewood Forest and a 2010 build in Creekside Park, and we know what each means for the ductwork hidden above your ceiling. When you call (323) 918-4345, a live person answers, 24/7. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and we back every job with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Tomball’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Tomball sits at a unique spot, right where Houston’s coastal prairie meets the East Texas Piney Woods. That transition zone matters for your ducts. The pine and oak pollen load here is heavier than in communities just 10-15 miles south, and that pollen gets drawn straight into your return vents. Combined with Gulf Coast humidity that keeps AC systems running six to eight months a year, Tomball homes face a double burden that drier, newer suburbs simply don’t share.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values. That means shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in, quiet tools during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where available. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, not rental gear from the hardware store. Every visit ends with a photo of the clean-up before we leave, so you see exactly what we did.
We’ve built our reputation in Tomball on one flat price per system, agreed before work starts. No per-vent add-ons. No surprise charges once the van is in your driveway. Families here have told us that’s why they call us back, and it’s why they recommend us to neighbors in subdivisions like Willow Creek and Northampton.
Air Duct Repair in Tomball
Air Duct Repair in Tomball often starts with a phone call about uneven cooling, a musty smell that won’t go away, or a sudden spike in the electric bill. In our market, the most common repairs involve sagging flex duct connections in attic-mounted systems, sealed joints that have pulled apart after years of heat cycling, and supply or return lines compromised by moisture intrusion. A typical repair in Tomball runs $200-$450 for connection reworking or section replacement, while more extensive rebuilds of damaged trunk lines can reach $600-$900.
Attic Flex Duct Reconnection
The fiberglass-insulated flex duct common in Tomball’s 1990s-2010s housing stock sags at connections over time. We lift, support, and reseal these runs with proper straps and mastic, restoring airflow to rooms that have gone stale.
Post-Moisture Section Replacement
Homes near Cypress Creek that took on water during Harvey often need sections of supply or return duct replaced, not just cleaned. We cut out compromised flex duct, install new R-6 or R-8 insulated runs, and seal to current standards.
Ductwork Cleaning in Tomball
Ductwork Cleaning in Tomball means source removal of the pollen, dust, and microbial growth that accumulates in flexible duct systems after 15-25 years of continuous use. Our process starts with a video inspection, then we seal and pressurize the system for negative-air HEPA extraction, agitate debris with rotary brushes, and finish with antimicrobial treatment where indicated. A whole-home cleaning in Tomball typically runs $350-$650, with larger homes or systems with multiple zones toward the upper end.
Video Inspection Before We Touch Anything
We run a camera through your attic ducts first. In Tomball, we regularly find mold speckling insulated joints in homes that flooded during Harvey, even when only the first floor got wet. You see the footage. We explain what it means. Then you decide.
Negative-Air HEPA Extraction
Our Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment pulls debris out under controlled suction, rather than blowing it through your house. For families with allergies or asthma, this matters. We contain what we remove.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tomball
We carry professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. For Tomball customers, that means we can match the right tool to your specific system, whether it’s a compact rotary brush for tight attic spaces in older subdivisions or a high-capacity negative air machine for larger homes in newer developments. We stock common fittings and antimicrobial treatments locally, so most repairs don’t wait on parts. When your Honeywell or Aprilaire media air cleaner needs attention alongside the ductwork, we handle both in the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tomball Homes
- Harvey-era mold in attic duct joints. Homes near Cypress Creek and Spring Creek that took on water in 2017 often developed mold inside flex duct seams, because humid attic air was pulled into compromised connections for months. The first floor got cleaned; the ducts didn’t.
- Pollen mats in aging flex duct. Tomball’s heavy pine and oak pollen load builds up in the corrugated interior of builder-grade flex duct, especially near the air handler. Standard filter changes don’t reach it.
- Sagging connections cutting airflow to back bedrooms. The long flex duct runs in Tomball’s slab-foundation homes lose support straps over time. Rooms at the end of the line get stuffy while the thermostat sits in the hallway.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in condos and apartments. Multi-unit buildings near Tomball’s historic downtown or along FM 2920 often vent through a common stack. Cleaning one unit without isolating the pathway can blow lint into a neighbor’s vent.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Tomball, TX
Here’s what honest pricing looks like for our market.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tomball
We isolate your unit’s duct runs with temporary zone dampers before starting any agitation or extraction. In shared systems common near Tomball’s older downtown apartments, this prevents debris or cleaning agents from migrating into neighboring units. We’ll coordinate with your building manager on access and timing. Call (323) 918-4345 to discuss your specific building layout.
Yes, and it’s often overdue. Even homes where only the first floor flooded frequently developed mold inside attic flex duct joints, because humid air was drawn into compromised seams for months after the water receded. We run a camera inspection first to check for this. If we find contamination, we clean with HEPA containment and apply antimicrobial treatment before sealing. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule an inspection.
Tomball’s position at the prairie-to-Piney-Woods transition means heavier seasonal pollen loads than communities just south, like Cypress or Jersey Village. That pollen gets drawn into return vents and trapped in the corrugated interior of flex duct, where standard filters can’t reach it. Homes here typically need more thorough agitation cleaning than equivalent homes in less wooded areas.
Most Tomball homes built from the late 1990s through the 2010s have never had their original builder-grade ductwork cleaned. That puts them at 15-25 years of accumulated debris, right when flex duct connections start sagging and pollen mats form near the air handler. The “first cleaning window” is this critical period where a thorough cleaning prevents permanent airflow loss and catches moisture issues before they require expensive section replacement.
Yes, but only with proper isolation. We seal the stack above and below your unit’s connection point, then clean your segment with a rotary brush and negative air extraction. Without this step, lint from your cleaning can be blown into a neighbor’s vent, creating a fire hazard. We coordinate with building management and document the isolation before starting. Call (323) 918-4345 to arrange a building walkthrough.
